TWIST AND SHOUT / I SAW HER STANDING THERE / BORN ON THE BAYOU / (I CAN’T GET NO) SATISFACTION / LIKE A ROLLING STONE / ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER

Springsteen attends the third Annual Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame ceremonies with Bob Dylan, The Beatles and The Beach Boys the evening’s key Hall Of Fame inductees. This 1988 event is considered to be the most memorable to date due to the number of major stars that turned up. Bruce gives the induction speech for Dylan. Springsteen performed in varying musician/vocalist support roles on all of the above-mentioned tracks. Bruce attended the event with then-wife Julianne Phillips - it was the last time they were seen in public together. The group singing backup on most of the songs, credited on the aforementioned compilation as The Rock Hall Jam Band, includes, among others, Ben E. King, Johnny Moore, Joe Blunt, Clyde Brown, Jeff Beck, George Harrison, Mick Jagger, John and Tom Fogerty, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Les Paul, Mary Wilson, Elton John, Arlo Guthrie, Yoko Ono, Ringo Starr, The Beach Boys, Little Richard, Peter Wolf, Neil Young, Paul Simon, Dave Edmunds, Jeff Lynne, Julian Lennon, Sean Lennon, and The World's Most Dangerous Band. Also on stage are various E-Streeters, including Max Weinberg, Little Steven, Clarence Clemons, and Patti Scialfa. Joel sings lead on "I Saw Her Standing There". Fogerty sings lead on "Born On The Bayou". Jagger sings lead on "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", calling Bruce over to share the microphone. Dylan sings lead on "Like A Rolling Stone", and Harrison and Dylan share vocals on "All Along The Watchtower".

Audio of "I Saw Her Standing There" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" was officially released on the 2011 iTunes compilation //Best of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame + Museum Live// and later that year on the compilation album //Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Vol. 1: 1986-1991 (Live)//.


 * 1988-01-24 - EXPO THEATER, FORT MONMOUTH, NJ**

No set details known. Private E Street Band rehearsals for the Tunnel Of Love Express Tour. All rehearsals were conducted at the U.S. Military base in the town of Fort Monmouth. Confusion has surrounded the location of these rehearsals due to the fact that the military base actually encompasses parts of the towns of Eatontown and Oceanport, as well as the town of Fort Monmouth.

Despite the privacy of the event the above-mentioned setlist is culled from an 86-minute audience tape of only fair quality. "I'm On Fire", "One Step Up", "Valentine's Day", "When You're Alone", "From Small Things", "For You" and "Born in the USA" can be found on the CDs 'From Small Things' (Kiss The Stone) and 'When You're Alone' (On Stage Records).

 * 1988-02-00 - EXPO THEATER, FORT MONMOUTH, NJ**

I AIN’T GOT NO HOME / I AIN’T GOT NO HOME / VIGILANTE MAN / VIGILANTE MAN

Recording (in a “live” rehearsal setting), as well as filming (by director Jim Brown) of two Woody Guthrie-penned songs for the upcoming charity album and PBS film documentary //A Vision Shared: Tribute To Woody Guthrie And Leadbelly//. All four performances (above) were audio recorded. The second version of each song (above) was filmed on the stage of the Expo Theater – it is unclear if the first version of each song was filmed (they have never circulated). The audio of the first version of each of the two songs (above) was first released on August 24, 1988 on the commercially available //A Vision Shared// charity album. The audio of the second version of each of the two songs (above) was released in very limited quantity in late September 1988 on a rare, U.S.A.-only, promotional-only soundtrack album for the forthcoming film documentary. That documentary had its world debut airing on October 3, 1988 on the U.S.A.’s national PBS TV network and was later made commercially available in several video formats. Note: this audio/video shoot may have taken place over two days, not one.


 * 1988-02-15 - WONDER BAR, ASBURY PARK, NJ**

ONE STEP UP

Filming of conceptual footage for the single release of “One Step Up”. Part of this shoot featured Springsteen made up to look like an older man. This footage was then intermixed with mimed footage of Bruce singing the song that had been filmed at Expo Theater in Fort Monmouth, NJ during one of the Tunnel Of Love Express Tour rehearsals in early February. The video clip was directed by Meiert Avis.

Live debuts of "Tunnel Of Love", "All That Heaven Will Allow", "Roulette", "Spare Parts", "I'm A Coward", "One Step Up", "Part Man, Part Monkey", "Walk Like A Man", plus the first ever on-tour renditions of "Two Faces", "Brilliant Disguise", "Tougher Than The Rest", and "Light Of Day", along with "Be True", which has had only one other public outing before. Premiere of the alternative arrangement of "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)". This rockabilly style arrangement was included on //The Ties That Bind//, the unreleased 1979 single album. "Spare Parts" include a highly personal and different introduction story than on later shows – a must-hear. "Part Man, Part Monkey" includes "Love Is Strange" in the outro. "Walk Like A Man" includes a beautiful instrumental intro, played only once more, two shows later. "Born To Run" is solo acoustic. "Roulette" and "Cover Me" in the soundcheck are just the instrumental intros, rehearsed a few times each; the first "Part Man, Part Monkey" is just the ending, with the "Love Is Strange" snippet, while the second, full version also includes "Love Is Strange". The final "Walk Like A Man" in the soundcheck is just the intro.

Audience tape and partial DVD. Available on CDR 'Worcester 88'. A new version from Mark Persic's master recording is now circulating with slightly better sound that on previous recordings of this show. This release includes the complete show unlike the 'First Date' boot - 'Heart Attack On The First Night' (Ev2). Some pro-shot footage (mostly short snippets, but also including a near-complete “Brilliant Disguise”) supposedly shot by a local TV news crew is circulating among collectors. Second half of the show is also filmed from the audience. Soundboard recording of the soundcheck circulates.

Same set as the previous night with the addition of "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" in the encores. "Part Man, Part Monkey" includes "Love Is Strange" in the outro. This show is the first show without the keyboard intro for "Walk Like A Man". The next night's show has the intro for the second and last time. Bruce forgets the opening lyrics to “Born To Run”, which is solo acoustic, at this show; starting with “In the day we sweat it...” before pausing and saying, “Sung it so damn much I forgot what the first words were!”

Audience tape. Three recording sources circulate, the first is released on double CD 'Tunnel Of Lust' on the Swinging Pig label (incomplete, minus encores as well as a few other tracks) and in complete form from the same source on the three-LP vinyl bootleg 'Express', which was made up to look like an official CBS promo release. A second complete source in good quality circulates on CDR from Mark Persic's master recording, titled 'Broke, Busted & Disgusted' (Ev2). A third source of good quality was put into circulation in March 2015 from first generation tapes (//mjk5510//).

Audience tape. Four recording sources circulate, the first is from Mark Persic's master tapes and is excellent quality but contains distortion in places. A second high quality source was put into circulation from first generation tapes in March 2015 (mjk5510), this source misses from Detroit Medley to the end and is patched with the third recording source. A third recording source was put into circulation from second generation tapes in March 2015 (mjk5510), this source is complete with only a splice at the end of "Cover Me". A fourth source of lesser quality than the previous three sources is in limited circulation.

Audience tape. Show perhaps best known for the stunning soundcheck that was fortunately recorded for posterity on CDR 'Atlanta Soundcheck'. Unfortunately the audio is of poor quality, and most lyrics are either bluffed or inaudible.

"Cover Me" includes "Gimme Shelter" for the first time. Bruce removes a fan that jumps on stage during "She's The One". "Part Man, Part Monkey" includes"Love Is Strange" in the outro. "Born To Run" is solo acoustic. First show at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum since the famous three show stand in December 1980.

Audience tape, three recording sources are available. On the first source "Detroit Medley" is cut and "Raise Your Hand" is missing. The second source is circulating from a first generation tape and missing "Love Me Tender" (mjk5510). This source utilises patches (including "Love Me Tender" from the first recording source) to form the complete show. The third, and easily the best quality source entered circulation in 2013 from the master tapes (Hobbes4444). Two short patches of six seconds each at the beginning of "Roulette" and "Cover Me" make this tape complete and the one to seek out. Show has been released on CDR 'Boom Boom' but it is uncertain which source that release uses. Parts of the show are available on a good quality DVD shot from behind the stage, providing an almost unique view.

Longest and one of the best of the Tunnel Of Love Express Tour shows. A few show notes, most of which can be also said for all shows this leg: "Two Faces" includes a nice guitar intro, "All That Heaven Will Allow" has a lengthy intro story, "Cover Me" includes "Gimme Shelter" in the outro, "Spare Parts" has the usual intro about love gone bad, and "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)" is rearranged much like the rockabilly version contemplated for the unreleased //The Ties That Bind// album in 1979, but with a story included. "I’m A Coward" has a long intro story and "Part Man, Part Monkey" includes "Love Is Strange" in the outro. Adele is invited to dance with Bruce during "Dancing In The Dark". "Born To Run" is solo acoustic. A unique “Little Latin Lupe Lu” for the tour and a first since Boston, March 25, 1977. Audience tape of the soundcheck includes "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and "Crying". Backstreets Magazine also reports Roy playing a piece of "Jungleland" and Nils singing "Man At The Top". Clarence's son singing a couple lines after "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry". Bruce allows a few hundred people in early who had been in line since noon to hear the last song of the soundcheck, Roy Orbison's "Crying". Brucebase has previously also listed "Big Boss Man" as being soundchecked, but this has been retracted pending verification. Please get in touch if you have further information regarding the soundcheck.

Audience tape, video feed and audience-shot video. The audio portion of the video feed is released on CD 'Roses And Broken Hearts' (Great Dane Records) and re-released on the Gamble Records label. This recording is clear, but somewhat flat. An audience recording (from Mark Persic's master tapes) also circulates directly from the master tapes and remastered as 'The Longest Date' (Ev2), it is superior to the line feed in many respects. The video recording is believed to exist in the hands of some collectors. Audience-shot video available on DVD from JEMS/Brucevideos.

"Roulette" is dropped for the first time this tour, replaced with "Darkness On The Edge Of Town" which is played for the fourth and final time this tour. "Cover Me" includes "Gimme Shelter" in the outro, "Part Man, Part Monkey" includes "Love Is Strange" in the outro, "Light of Day" includes "Born To Be Wild" in the center section. "Dancing In The Dark" is not played. "Born To Run" is solo acoustic. The soundcheck includes Slim Harpo's "Rainin' In My Heart" (not the Buddy Holly song with the same title), "Big Boss Man" (first recorded by Jimmy Reed but also by Elvis Presley), "Let It Be Me" (The Everly Brothers, also soundchecked in Atlanta in March) with Nils taking lead vocals, "Cathy's Clown" and "Crying In The Rain" (both also The Everly Brothers) and both "Rock And Roll Music" and "Sweet Little Sixteen" by Chuck Berry. The second song of the soundcheck has historically been titled "The Way You Walk", however a little investigation has revealed it to be John Lee Hooker's "Dimples". Perhaps Bruce had considered including the song in the Express Tour set, but instead settled on "Boom Boom" which will be premiered four days after this show in Bloomington, MN.

Audience tape. Two sources circulate, the first is from a first generation tape (Jer7767) of both soundcheck and concert. A second source is available from the 'M&S' master via JEMS.

Premiere of "Cautious Man", and the only known appearance until the Devils & Dust Tour in 2005 - the song was played in the soundchecks earlier. Debut of "Boom Boom". “Two Faces” has a nice guitar intro again. “Spare Parts” does not have an intro story, for a change, but “All That Heaven Will Allow”, “You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)” and “I’m A Coward” all include intro stories, as always. "Part Man, Part Monkey" includes "Love Is Strange" in the outro. "Light Of Day" fades out midway. "Born To Run" is solo acoustic. This show is the source of an urban legend when it was reported that the origins of the song "Boom Boom" being played was a riff played on the bass, followed by all the band spontaneously joining in and playing the song for the first time ever. Well apart from the two soundcheck versions anyway.

Audience tape available on CD 'Bloomington Night' (Crystal Cat).

RECONSIDER BABY / BOOM BOOM / ? / ? / ? / ?

Bruce and Nils Lofgren sit and listen to a few songs by the New Orleans Blues Department, a loose collection of local musicians. After the first set guitarist/vocalist Michael Sklar approaches Springsteen and invites him to join the band during the second set. Bruce accepts, and Sklar drives home and returns with a spare Stratocaster and amp. Springsteen then joins the N.O.B.D on Lowell Fulson's "Reconsider Baby". After a break Nils borrows Sklar's guitar for "Boom Boom" and four other unidentified R&B classics. Springsteen returned to the Maple Leaf Bar in 1992 to play with The Iguanas.

"Out in the Street" and "The Promised Land" make their tour debuts and "Born to Run" is performed with the full band for the first time on the tour. "Adam Raised A Cain" includes "Hoochie Coochie Man" and "I'm A Man" in the outro. "Cover Me" includes "Gimme Shelter" in the outro. "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)" includes the sung "Don't You Touch That Thing" intro. "Dancing In The Dark" includes "Lookin' For A Love" in the outro. Oddly, this show was announced by the promoters as a "Concert for Nicaragua" (see ticket stub), which upset Bruce and prompted him to give his infamous German-language speech prior to "Chimes Of Freedom" about "not being here for or against any certain government, but to play rock ’n’ roll for (you) East Berliners...in the hope that one day, all barriers will be torn down." A few minutes before the concert started, Bruce had the words translated and written down in phonetic spelling by his personal German driver, George Kerwinski, and the speech originally included the word "walls" instead of "barriers" – this was changed at the proverbial last minute because it was (rightly) considered too delicate by Jon Landau. Kerwinski had to literally climb onstage during the show and tell Bruce to say "barrier". Bruce does his introduction in German while the band plays in the background. Of course, the entire speech was censored in the original East German television and radio broadcasts anyway, although it was shown on various TV news reports in West Germany.

Audience tape and radio/television broadcast. Bruce's first ever appearance in East Germany. This show is partially broadcast on East German television and radio. The original broadcast footage was released on a factory-pressed DVD entitled 'Behind The Wall' on the Bossvideo Ltd. label. A mixture of the radio broadcast and audience tape is available as 'Rocking The Badlands' as well as a 30th Anniversary remaster (mjk5510). The original broadcast of the concert did not include "Out In The Street" and "Boom Boom" - they were only shown on later re-broadcasts. The audience tape is incomplete, through "Hungry Heart", and was released as part of the "DS Archives Volume 32".

The final Tunnel Of Love Express Tour show. During the intro to "Tunnel of Love", Bruce speaks in Catalan, saying, "Hola Barcelona, ja sóc aquí" (Hello Barcelona, I'm finally here). This was important to the audience because these are the exact words ("Ja sóc aquí") that Catalonian President Josep Tarradellas said on October 23, 1977, when he returned to Barcelona after 38 years in exile because of Franco's dictatorship in Spain. Once democracy was restored in Spain in 1975, the old Generalitat government functioned again (Catalonia's own autonomic government), and Tarradellas came back to take the presidency again. So Bruce saying those magic words was very exciting, and sure he had some good advice about this before the show. "Adam Raised A Cain" includes "I'm A Man" in the outro. "Cover Me" includes "Gimme Shelter" in the outro. "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)" includes the sung "Don't You Touch That Thing" intro. "Dancing In The Dark" includes "Lookin' For A Love" in the outro. "Light Of Day" includes "Land Of 1000 Dances". "Born To Run" is full band once again. First ever performance in Spain of "Working On The Highway". The sleeve for a Spanish promotion-only 7“ single of “Tougher Than The Rest” lists this concert with a date of August 4, so the show may have been rescheduled. A typo is perhaps more likely.

Audience tape and DVD. The final Tunnel Of Love Express Tour show. Released on CDR 'From Barcelona With Love'. A higher-quality recording from a Mr. T Master was released via JEMS in 2018 as "'Hola Barcelona, Ja Sóc Aquí'. Concert is filmed from the audience, and is available on DVD. Some pro-shot video footage of “Tunnel Of Love”, “Boom Boom” and “Born In The U.S.A.” from this concert was shown on Spanish television. The pro-shot film was broadcast in Barcelona by TV2 as part of a special 20-minute feature. It also included live audio (not video) of "Badlands".

Other than Springsteen, the concerts feature Sting, Peter Gabriel, Tracy Chapman, and Youssou N'Dour, plus guest performers from each of the countries where the concerts are held. The days proceedings begin at around 4pm with a stripped-down version of "Get Up, Stand Up" performed by Springsteen, Gabriel, Chapman, Sting and N'Dour - the first ever Springsteen performance of the song.

"Born To Run" is the full band version, as it will be throughout the tour. "Chimes Of Freedom" and a full-band "Get Up, Stand Up" close the show.

First time that Springsteen has played in Africa. Bruce's only performance in Zimbabwe to date. A certain amount of controversy surrounds this show, played at a Chinese-built sports stadium in the Zimbabwean capital. Reports suggest that Zimbabwe issued an estimated 20,000 visas to South Africans, and the end result is that perhaps 80 percent of the crowd is white. Secondly, the local promoter sourced the sound system from South Africa, which is still in the grips of apartheid. The performers discovered this while in India, protested, and as a result the promoter is forced to locate another system from elsewhere. Generally, it could be said that the show is a success, however at midnight (during Springsteen's set) the stadium lights are switched on, compelling thousands of the vast crowd to head for the exits and ensuring that the show closes with a bit of a whimper. Guest artists are Zimbabwean musician Oliver Mtukudzi, Ilanga, and Cde Chinx.

Audience tape exists but does not currently circulate amongst collectors.

Pre-set: GET UP, STAND UP (with Sting, Peter Gabriel, Tracy Chapman and Youssou N'Dour)

THE RIVER

"The River" was played, but there is no known audience recording of the show. Bruce's first ever appearance in Argentina. Bruce at some point of the show said this to the crowd: " la lucha con coraje de los chilenos y argentinos por la democracia es un ejemplo para el mundo". A translation of this is "The fight with courage from Chile and Argentinos people for the democracy it's an example for all over the world." 30,000 people were at the show, and half of them were from Chile. They crossed the border to see the show. About 1650 policemen were at the show, and checked one by one all the persons who attended. Two Chilean bands recently returned from exile, Los Prisioneros and Inti-Illimani, took part in the show, as did the Mendozino group Markama. A further translation of Springsteen's speech is: "No one knows better than the South Americans how weak are that kind of rights. We fight in order to create one world without Somoza without Pinochet and with no leaders who rule the world with blood from their Countries in their hands. Let's join our voices in order to that the freedon scream will feel strong in America and in all the world."

Parts are broadcast on Chile TV (Television Nacional De Chile) although it is unclear if Bruce's performance was on the broadcast.
